Not long after a Philadelphia radio station host was ousted from her station for admitting her interview with Joe Biden was scripted, radio another station is under fire.
"The questions were sent to me for approval. I approved them…. I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved," admitted host Andrea Law-Sanders, leading to her termination. The interview in question was the same interview that made headlines for Biden claiming to have been the “first black woman to serve with a black president.”
Now it’s a Milwaukee radio station facing backlash for airing an edited interview with Biden, and admitting that the edits were made at the request of the Biden campaign.
According to Axios:
“With a high-profile interview comes a listener expectation that journalistic interview standards will be applied ... We did not meet those expectations,” Civic Media said in a statement Thursday.
An investigation into the incident revealed that the production team had viewed the changes as "non-substantive" and allowed the interview to air with two clips removed.
"Given the gravity of the current political moment, the stakes in this election, and the importance of public scrutiny of public officials in the highest office, we believe it is important to share this information," Civic Media said.
The show in question was "Earl Ingram Show," which Biden appeared on July 4th in an interview recorded the day prior. White House aides reportedly provided questions for Ingram to ask prior to the interview.
